state of the characters!

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

In an effort to keep similar things together, I've moved our state of the characters post to the therapy comm since we do an IC version of this every once in awhile and I thought keeping the OOC version here might make more sense. Of course, the therapy comm will remain your haven for all those therapeutic posts you need to make, this is just me moving this particular update here since it's not really a meme but it's not really IC either. All memes will still take place in the OOC comm, of course!

Anyway, I'm sure you all know how this works (and here's our last one) but, if you don't, it's basically a post to give the game at large an update or a summary of what's going on with each of your characters. Romances, classes, upcoming plots, things you might want to do with them in the future, crushes, people you want to thread with, etc.

Feel free to include general end of summer thoughts, plots that came together, and development that occurred over the entire course of the long, hot summer. For the newbies, feel free to describe the first few days and maybe outline what you're hoping to do! And, the familiar example:

Umbridge: Sometimes, it's hard for me to play her because she's so intensive and tiring. But, she's having fun hexing students and pissing off teachers. I'm enjoying her games of give and take with Anakin and Wade, particularly. I'd love to see her thread more with Roy. She'll be leaving soon but not before a big explosive ending.

It doesn't have to be exactly like that but that's basically the gist. Feel free to reply to each other if you have thread ideas or even plot ideas. So, go forth and share!

Comments

Raven:
* Still struggling to deal with her own emotions. It's much easier for her to help others with theirs instead.
* Accidentally outed herself as a demon to Sam and he didn't try to kill her. \o/ Oddly, she feels a certain kinship with Sam. I wonder why....
* Forgave Chuck for stealing her virtue but doesn't trust him anymore. Sad.
* Has seriously glomed on to Jono and wants to try to heal him. This could get messy. She's going to have to learn she can't heal everything.
* Is in the process of gloming on to Nick as well because of his issues and won't that end well.
* Still has Issues from the Vamp!Verse and losing control of her powers (and herself) but is trying to get passed them.
* May have to bring some people to visit Azarath soon. AND THEN BLOW IT UP. Mmm, canon.
* Trying to decide who should show up for Parents Weekend: her mother, her as-of-yet-unknown evil brothers, or the evil cult leader who intends to marry her. Decisions, decisions.

I'd also love to have her develop a real relationship with someone who won't just love her and leave her! ;)


Drake:
* Just got here, freely admitting he's a demon, though he hasn't told anyone about his one year expiration date yet.
* Waiting for someone to figure out he's from the Charmedverse. If no one does before the cultural fair, someone surely will then.
* Oh, Homecoming is going to be fuuuuuuuun. :D

[intraspective]

Ino:
- Tooootally lying about being Perfectly Okay Really about her mission stuff, and having issues with nice restful sleep because of it.
- Is terribly confused because she's conflicted about the above but--not the way she's 'supposed' to be.
- Is mostly suppressing and being ridiculous instead. It's easier on her!
- ...if not really healthy.
- So, I guess she's happy on the surface, and dealing with other stuff underneath? And needs to meet more people! Always that one.
- And maybe do something with mind powers. Hm.

Hinata:
- Is content and pretty happy to escape notice.
- This is sort of a problem for me, yes.
- Needs to get out more, and knows it, but still isn't enthused about it.
- Realizes that this is kind of sad.

[glacial_queen]

Karla--

Oh, Karla. She remains a blast to play. I keep throwing her into situations then sitting back and figuring out how she's going to react. The gender-swap day broke her brain and had me in stitches. There's just been so much for her to do!

She's still coping with that happened in the other world, both the good and the bad. Right now, she's worried sick that she may have jeopardized her friendship with Ender, but also still giddy from the performance last night. She's trying to get over her crush on Ben (with varying amounts of success) and is slowly starting to collect a real First Circle (even if most of those people won't come back to Kaeleer with her). We got through all of the canon available at that point (there's a two-year gap, though I'll probably move the timeline up because I want Arthur around for the unicorn slaughter) and right now, I'm having Karla experiment with what it's like to be a 15 year old girl, not a Queen, not a Healer, not a Black Widow. I mean, she still does those things, of course, but she's slooooowly starting to learn that they don't define her as a person.

Future: In addition to moving up canon plot, I have a few ideas percolating in the back of my head. I want to organize a visit for her friends to go to Kaeleer (no, not Glacia!), I want her to learn more with Ghanima, and I have a few ideas about having some nasties sent to the island to find her, but that's a while in the future.

Robin:
- still dealing with this "holy shit I'm engaged and THAT MEANS I'M GETTING MARRIED" thing.
- is thus considering elopement. (Don't worry, Marshall. There'll still be cake.)
- is otherwise pretty damn happy with how things are going right now.

Rory:
- has a wee bairn, who Anakin takes care of when she's at class, and she takes care of when he's teaching, and it's PERFECT.
- IS BACK AT SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- can't have coffee just yet. :(

Kaylee:
- misses Ned like crazy.
- just bought her very first non-homemade vibrator.
- yes, those are related.
- is otherwise just fine and dandy, and needs to meet more of the new kids omg!

Aravis:
- is freshly back from Archenland and kind of missed Fandom, omg.
- has Strange Feelings about Cor, after this summer.
- she hates that, and thinks that the way to fix it is to find someone to have sex with. Oh, Aravis.
- has gotten progressively nicer, though is still bitchy about certain things.

Sookie:
- is starting to kind of love how many telepaths there are here.
- not to mention people who can block her without putting any real effort forth.
- is getting better at keeping her shields up as often as possible, omg.
- has a crush, aww.
- is SO GLAD her brother's here, but at the same time worried about him.
- likes that her new roommate is a girl, but see above vis a vis Jason.

Kelly:
- is like, omg, so happy to be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
- THERE ARE LIKE SO MANY CUTE BOYS HERE.
- ONE OF THEM IS HER ROOMMATE!
- okay so like, Kelly isn't sure how she feels about the whole boy/girl living together situation, because while it's like, totally adorable for couples, like, what if he does something gross? Or like, what if he sees her naked and is like "Ew"? Like, clearly he'd have to be delusional or like, whatever, for that to happen, but what if it did and it was like, awkward for the whole time? Like, it would be a real problem, like in that one movie, where the boy and the girl like, hate each other at first, but then they're like, completely adorbs by the end? It'd be okay by the end but the beginning would be like, bad, and the middle too!!!!

Remus:
- likes his class.
- is still secretly in love with Sirius omg. DUN TELL ANYONE.

[trigons_child]

Ooh me, me, I wanna see Kaeleer!

Want to come to Azarath? :)

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

Maron:

Hahahahaha, right now I'm having a blast, and she's... rather horrified that I put her through the play. Oops? But she's a good sport and bounces back quick and really it was embarrassing but not harmful so she bounces back even quicker.

...while she eyes the other's who think she should try out for the next play.

At the moment I'm just trying to get her out and about more, and making stronger connections. She's a bit of a social butterfly, so even though she's been around for the summer, she hasn't got a 'BFF' or anything yet. Except, maybe, Turtle who gets that status for being Best Roomie Ever.

No plans for her at all, at the moment!

[glacial_queen]

I dunno. Do I have to get blown up, too? Otherwise, Hell yeah!

[trigons_child]

No, no blowing up of the friends. Just home, which gets nom nom nom'd by daddy dearest. :D

[living_endless]

Didi:
- Was the best last-minute application inspiration I have ever had.
- Is still trying to get her head around how there are worlds where the Endless don't exist -- let alone one where another personification of death dated Deadpool.
- Is tickled pink by life, seriously. Life has sugar and music and air and cute boys! If you let her, she'll get perky goth all over you.
- Is wondering how seriously she needs to take the "it is not given to mortals to love the Endless" thing, given her current situation. (See above, re: cute boys.)
- Thinks Jaime kicks ass as a roommate, even if he does talk to himself.
- Isn't quite sure how or when she's going home. Is okay with that.

Firekeeper and Blind Seer

Just got back from an adventure/hunt in their world that ended with them discovering an island full of magical gates, conquering said island, and then coming down with a magical plague. So they're a little wrung out from that still, not to mention feeling slightly guilty about friends from Fandom being dragged along- though both Firekeeper and Blind Seer appreciate the help said friends gave.

Blind Seer, especially, is more than a little troubled about this "plague" thing because up until then there was never any indication that there was anything magical about him. He's trying not to think about it. Or the state of his poor coat after shedding most of it while fever-ridden.

Also there's this thing where Firekeeper now owes a certain meddling deity a favor.

[glacial_queen]

Oh, I forgot two things:

1) I am so looking to have Saetan and Morton here for Family Day. Though Karla plans to not let any of the boyos here near Morton. Ever.

2) I am having serious problems incorporating certain words from canon. While I can laugh (and headdesk) over 'magical cockrings omg,' I'm finding it nigh-impossible to just drop 'cock' into random conversations the way it is in canon. I've tried but it just makes me facepalm a bit, because even the few times I've been comfortable using it (like three times) I'm never sure how it'll be taken by the player on the other end.

MY CANON IS CRAZY. SHUT UP.

[glacial_queen]

Oh, well, that's fine. Have at!

[brat-intraining.livejournal.com]

Kennedy needs a muzzle, I swear to God. She's only been in game for a few days but I'm having such a blast with her, even if she won't stop hitting on girls. I love her interaction with Worf already. She had the best newbie picnic ever, for serious. Two days in Fandom and she'd already come up with about four different ways to annoy the hell out of her Watcher from a distance? I love it. I have no huge plans for her other than a few people I think she absolutely has to meet (and kind of want her to meet Codex just for the meta amusement factor).

That may change. We'll see. For now, I'm just enjoying the hell out of getting her settled in, seeing how she can get on characters' nerves, and really, really hoping I'm not irritating people as players in the process.

Now if only I could get off my ass and make more icons. Curse you, season 7 and your dark lighting! And BtVS fandom for not liking her enough to make icons.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Can I say I'm kind of tickled for the new rooming situation Firekeeper and Blind Seer are having to deal with? That's one of those HUGELY opposite pairs that I so wanna see more of.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

We neeeeeeeeeeeed to do some kind of plotty with our girls.

[brat-intraining.livejournal.com]

Omg srsly. That post last night killed me ded of laff.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

OMG yes. I was actually editing this comment to add that when it was all "nope, sorry, someone's replied!" I was laughing hysterically last night in between pings. Because they are clearly destined to be best friends forever dontcha know.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela: Things are actually going really quite smoothly for her. She's got easy classes (and only two of them a week), a great boyfriend, and aside from a week or so as a red panda she's had a pretty quiet second summer term.

She did lose her best friend off the island last week, and is going to miss having Peyton around a loooot. This being Angela, she probably won't let it show (crazy little positive thinker).

Otherwise, I don't really plan with her, but she does need to get out a little more. I've been lazy lately.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

I am too fast for you! But yes, I was DYING too especially at Angela wanting Blind Seer to stay on his side of the room because cats are TOTALLY able to do that. Really.

Poor Firekeeper. She's doomed.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

* Excited about cheerleading tryouts coming up!
* Going to learn about gardening.
* Happy to keep her parents in the dark about Fandom. Not sure what I'm gonna do with Parents Weekend yet.

* Needs another night out with the girls
* Worried about Raven.
* Hasn't been bothered nearly enough by God lately.

* Already lined up two dates so far and has a few more on the line.
* Adores his roommate because he reminds him of his little bro.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Beka:
- Is still settling in, but is very confused by this place.
- She really wants to hit George over the head with something and she's not even sure why. Just... there it is.
- Misses the Lower City like crazy. Fandom is too clean and quiet.
- Misses her friends and the breakfasts they're probably having without her.
- Wishes she wasn't so shy about making friends.
- Has already been feeding pigeons around the island. It won't be too long before they start following her around.
- Is glad these pigeons don't carry ghosts with them.

Pounce:
- Loves the food here.
- Enjoys the attention he's been getting.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan would be happy to visit Raven's home.

And... not so happy to blow it up. But, you know, if she had to, she would.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Hannibal is completely content. That's not surprising since he's a chill character to play and I love that since he contrasts nicely to my other characters. His biggest accomplishment lately is pushing his and Angela's beds together in the room to make one big bed. Huzzah! No more small beds!

Anyway, I don't really ever make plans for him because he's so go with the flow and that works. He and Angela are coming up on six months together and he's not freaking out! Amazing!

Maybe I'll just have him get mostly naked or something. He's just fun to play whenever I want to play. He can work against anyone or anywhere.

[trigons_child]

Oh no, this is canon. Daddy destroys Azarath. :D

But Raven would be delighted to have Joan visit Azarath with her.

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Fraser is engaged, aww. And that's about all he's going to have going on, I think, since that's BIG. He's gotta get his MALE CONTINGENT organized and he's gotta tell the people at home. He has no idea that there's so many things associated with a wedding despite having studied like EVERYTHING there is to know.

If I'm really mean, I somehow have Victoria find out and send him a nice postcard from prison. Mwahahahaha!

Depending on that new show, Eastwick goes, I might have found a new AU character for him. Because Fraser changing into the devil is just something I cannot resist. He'd hate it but I wold love it.
